Description
Mother Bombie is unique among Lyly's comedies. Structured upon a Roman New Comedy model, the play turns on a tissue of misconceptions surrounding the efforts of four fathers to secure socially advantageous marriages for their heirs and the determination of their young servants to exploit their masters' aspirations for their own advantage. -- .
